To the teacher: List any items below that you wish to call to the attention of the Administrator. Share your
lesson plan at least a day prior to the observation.

1. The classroom has fixed tables, they cannot be moved. There is limited space for group activities.
The middle row can easily become too crowded to walk through.
2. The whiteboard is absolutely terrible, hard for the students to see and almost impossible to erase
with the eraser. I have some yellow sheets I use on top of the white board.
3. Often the projectors have issues and they flicker off/on and I need to turn one off.
4. The teacher’s desk is stuck in the corner and hard to demonstrate online coding activities etc.
5. Some computers and equipment do not work properly in the room. E.g. Internet, keyboards and
mice.
